The Omcan 20180 Countertop Food Warmer
The Omcan FW-CN-0450 is a countertop stainless steel hot plate food warmer that provides an even, flat heated surface for holding food at serving temperature on a buffet line, catering table, or kitchen pass. At 450 watts, the heating element brings the surface up to temperature quickly and maintains a range of 104 to 212°F (40 to 212°C), wide enough to hold everything from warm bread and rolls at the low end to hot entrees and side dishes at the high end.
Even Heating Surface for Full-Size GN Pans
The 20.8 by 12.8 inch surface fits one standard full-size 1/1 GN pan or any heat-resistant cookware that sits within the footprint. The even heating surface distributes warmth uniformly across the plate, so food on one side of the pan holds at the same temperature as food on the other side. This is a cleaner, simpler alternative to chafing dishes with sterno cans when you have access to an outlet, and it eliminates the open flame that sterno introduces to a buffet setting.
Portable Stainless Steel Design
The stainless steel construction cleans easily after service and resists corrosion from steam and food spills. Temperature is adjustable between 113 and 212°F (45 to 212°C) via a dial control. At only 3 inches tall and 8.9 pounds, the unit is genuinely portable. You can carry it to a catering event, set it on a table, and plug it into a standard 110V/60Hz outlet. The low profile means it sits under food pans without adding significant height to the serving setup.
